RE: 594.31

"1.  I did in fact have a severe nightmare - I wanted to know if other women
suffer from them and if they did how did they cope. The worst part of the dream
was the inability to convince myself that "it could not happen to me" even after
I woke."

Why *just* other women?  Please give a better answer then 'I don't want to be
verbally abused by men'.  That is no better then 'all women should stay home'. 

"2.  We (some of the women) in this conference have wanted to discuss life
experiences that for the most part men do not experience in the same way.  We
have been told - many times (espeically lately)- that we can not, it is against
the rules.  (I have begun to notice that the rules keep changing everytime we
agree to them.)"

To be precise, *nobody* experiences things the same way as anyone else; we
are all individuals.  Why discriminate against men?

"3.  I would like there to be a closed conference but there is not one around so
I am using this one to get what I want out of it."

Yes, Virginia, there is a members only confereence...

"As a female student of Socrates has been quoted "My arm my be lovey but it is
not on public display.""

A notes file is, by definition, public display.  Like someone said, 'don't write
in notes, anything you wouldn't want on your resume...'.

"5.  Sometimes I get bored and do things to see how others react, especially if
the "others" have been particually annoying."

I know what you mean, especially if they get annoyed over nothing.

    Do I hear an axe being ground? It is possible to hear anything else
    from this man?
    
    I'm going to be in Denver after the =wn= get together, Sunday afternoon
    the 17th, and all day Monday the 18th. Any Colorado Springs folks want
    to get together? Maybe do some skiing?
